Discover how unique swear words like “crumber” and “spooglet” add flavor to the narrative and why Jack believes young readers deserve engaging, thought-provoking material.
We also tackle some weighty societal issues, from political polarization to the harsh realities of modern bullying. Jack shares his thoughts on the importance of questioning societal norms and the power of language in building bridges.
